The first full day of acts today (Friday) will see headline sets from American pop sensation Billie Eilish on the Main Stage East and Las Vegas quartet Imagine Dragons on the Main Stage West.
Crowds have been enjoying the sunny weather today as the likes of Muna, The Amazons and Rina Sawayama helped open the festival.
